is (static HTML) suitable to insert the Facebook comment plugin to every forum thread

Yes you can do it using one HTML module but the topic URL needs to be dynamic and not hardcoded.

Try pasting this in an HTML module:

HTML Code:

<div class="fb-comments" data-href="" data-numposts="5"></div>
<script>
(function() {
    var topicUrl = location.protocol + '//' + location.host + location.pathname.replace(/\/page[0-9]*/, ''); //get the topic url from the current page url excluding the page number and querystrings
    document.querySelector('.fb-comments').setAttribute('data-href', topicUrl); //set the url in the fb-comments div dynamically
})();
</script>
<!-- Insert Facebook Javascript SDK here -->

Did you mean you edited the contententry template? Editing existing vB templates is not recommended as it may get overwritten or cause template merge conflicts that you have to resolve every time you upgrade. If you use an HTML module or create a template hook to implement the FB comment plugin, then you don't have to worry about template issues in the future.
